Chapter 178 Hanging Tower

An extremely strong smell of blood mixed with the smell surged in through the crack of the door. My nose and throat suddenly became numb and I wanted to retching.

But a large number of armored corpses were in the cave behind me. I didn't dare to make too loud noises. I forced myself to resist the desire to vomit and gave me a long breath.

I wanted to spit out the bloody smell that rushed into my nose, but the smell rushed towards me one after another. In the end, I couldn't help it, and there were bursts of dry retching sounds in my mouth.

I haven't eaten anything since the afternoon and finally I only vomited two mouthfuls of sour water, my stomach kept twitching, my throat was stimulated by sour water, and I felt like I was burned.

The bloody smell in front of me was actually much stronger than the smell in the blood pool.

After that, I could only cover my mouth and nose hard, then push the stone door open with my feet, and look out the stone door.

I saw the bronze chain crossing from the top of the stone gate crossing over my head and extending towards the distance of darkness. I walked a few steps along the direction of the chain extension, and then I found that less than ten meters away from me was another huge abyss, with the smell of blood and anger coming from the bottom of the abyss.

At this moment, the anger was almost immediately in front of me. I felt a vague feeling that there seemed to be a giant hidden at the bottom of the abyss. While I was looking down at the abyss, it was also looking at me quietly.

Xian'er crawled out of my shoulder and asked me whisperedly: "What should I do now? Go back to find Mr. Chai?"

I looked at the abyss again and shook my head: "Let's see what's ahead first. The people from the Huang family are following. If there is danger ahead, we alone may not be able to protect them. Xian'er, take the light and go to the front to take a look."

After hearing what I said, Xian'er's expression became a little disgusted: "Why is it me again?"

"You are a ghost, and nothing will happen." I didn't seal the breath when I spoke this time, and the smell of blood poured in from my mouth, causing another tumult of my stomach.

Although Xian'er was a little reluctant, she took the lantern and said to me: "Anyway, I can't be too far away from you. It's only one hundred meters. I'll walk forward for a hundred meters before coming back."

I was so uncomfortable that I couldn't speak, so I just nodded to Xian'er.

Xian'er gave me a blank look again before she drifted to the abyss.

The fox fire illuminated the bronze chain, and I saw some marks on the chain, which seemed to be some kind of very ancient talisman.

"The Walking Zombie Catalogue" records a special talisman that appeared in the late Tang Dynasty, called "The Zhoutian and Earth Seal". According to some records from ancestors, the master also specially drew the pattern of the talisman in "The Walking Zombie Catalogue", which is that two yin and yang fish with opposite heads and tails form a circle, and in the center of the two fishes, there is a tree-like root-like thing.

The talisman seal on the copper lock is very similar to the kind drawn by the master. It is also a circle of two Yin and Yang fish, but in the talisman seal in front of you, the thing that crosses the Yin and Yang fish is not like a tree root, but more like a narrow saw.

After the fairy floated forward for a while, the fox fire could already shine on the end of the chain. At first, I just vaguely saw that there seemed to be another stone platform connected to the end of the chain.

But when Xian'er floated forward for a while, the scene from the fox fire made me stunned.

It was not a stone platform at all, but the base of a stone tower. In the place where I looked, dozens of chains passed through the abyss from different directions, connected to the stone base, and hung the stone tower that had reached into the darkness and its base in mid-air.

I don't know where the chains extend from. In the area illuminated by the fox fire, I can only see the small section connected to the stone tower.

I don't know how high the tower is, and the fox fire can't even shine at its top.

Old Master Huang said that Su Santong discovered this evil tomb during the Guangxu period. In other words, this tomb was built at least a hundred years ago. It was possible that the productivity and construction technology at that time could not be built in such a stone tower hanging in the air in such a place!

I wanted Xian'er to get closer and take a look, but at this time she was too far away from me, my legs began to become weak and my mind was a little swollen.

Xian'er could sense my discomfort, and she slowly floated back and asked me with some concern: "Are you okay?"

I waved my hand at Xian'er, then looked at the darkness where the stone tower was, and finally decided to find my master first.

Maybe the master can explain clearly what happened to the tower, and the thing hidden at the bottom of the abyss. Without Master’s presence, I would definitely not be able to deal with it alone.

When I left the tomb, Master and the others were waiting for me outside.

I told the master in detail about the situation on the other side of the tomb. When I mentioned the stone pagoda, my master also looked surprised. It seemed that even my master had never seen such a thing.

But just as I was talking, I found that the expression on Mr. Huang’s face was a little gloomy and unstable.

My master noticed the old man’s abnormality and asked the old man on the spot: “Old man, did Master Su San mention the stone tower in the evil tomb when he was alive?”

The old man was stunned at first, then he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Well, I have mentioned it. Master Chai, now we have arrived here, I won't hide it from you. I'm going to get to the tomb this time just to suppress the things in the tower. The third master once said that there is a piece of evil jade on the top of the stone tower. As long as it is destroyed, it can suppress the great demon in the evil tomb in one fell swoop. It will not come out to cause trouble again within a thousand years."

It’s jade again! When we entered the Dragon King’s tomb last time, we were in the center of the tomb, wasn’t there a broken jade? And after hearing what the old man said, I suddenly remembered that the tomb where Chen Fang’s black coffin was very similar to the tomb where Wang Dafu had been leaning over for many years, especially the two coffins in the tomb, which were almost exactly the same!

At the same time, the old man's words also confirmed my master's previous guess that there was indeed a big monster in the evil tomb.

At this time, my master frowned and asked Mr. Huang again: "Mr. Su San said he had never said that he was suppressed in the evil tomb... What kind of monster is he?"

The old master nodded and said, "When the Third Master brought people to the tomb for the first time, he saw a big snake in the abyss under the stone tower. The snake was 100 meters long and crawling. At that time, the Third Master entered the tomb and it turned out to be a fight. They found the floating tower hanging in the air. The Third Master said that there seemed to be a light flashing in the tower... It seemed that it was said that it took too long and I couldn't remember it clearly. After they entered the tower, someone accidentally touched the mechanism at the bottom of the tower. Then the big snake suddenly started to hurt people, and only the Third Master escaped alive."

The master listened quietly until the old master finished speaking, and he asked, "How did Master Su San know that he could suppress the snake by breaking the evil jade?"

This time, the old man shook his head: "I can't explain this, but that's what the third master said at the beginning. When I was five years old, I was chosen as the next head of the family by the third master. The third master told me a lot about the evil tomb, but I was so young at that time. I couldn't understand a lot of what the third master said, and I just remembered a few things."

The master nodded helplessly and did not say anything.

After that, the master asked Liang Houzai to send a talisman to ward off evil spirits, and everyone put a picture on their chest to resist the corpse energy in the tomb.

I also thought of a very critical issue when I saw Mr. Huang sticking a talisman on his chest. When Su Santong was in the tomb, if there were no one like us around, it seemed that he would not be able to resist the yin energy and corpse energy in the tomb. If he was in the tomb by the yin energy when he was in the tomb, even if he escaped from the evil tomb, he would still die within three days.

But he actually lived for ten years after leaving the evil tomb.

This is absolutely impossible for ordinary people who have no Taoism.

Just as I was thinking about these things, my master suddenly patted me and asked me what I was thinking. I said everything in my heart.

The expression on the master's face also became a little solemn. He turned his head and asked Mr. Huang: "When Master Su San got to the tomb, did he bring a master with him?"

Unexpectedly, Old Master Huang shook his head very decisively: "When it comes to fighting, the Huang family is all masters, but as the little master said just now, when we encounter Yin Qi and Corpse Qi, our Huang family will become ordinary people. Although the ancestors have passed down some methods to deal with evil spirits, we cannot deal with such heavy evil spirits."

The master thought about it and asked Mr. Huang again: "Are you sure that Mr. Su San has lived for another ten years after leaving the evil tomb?"

Old Master Huang nodded: "I won't remember this wrong."

At this moment, Liang Houzai interrupted a long distance: "I think it should be more than just a coincidence that Master Su San encountered the evil tomb when he fought back."

After saying this, Liang Houzai had no further information. My master waved at him and said, "You continue."

I know why Liang Houzai stopped. He said that he had just said to my master, but he didn't expect that as soon as he blurted out, everyone's eyes turned to him at the same time. He was still as afraid of life as before. When the people from the Huang family looked at him like this, he would definitely be too shy to speak.

After being silent for a long time, Liang Houzai said with a little twisted voice: "I just always felt that Master Su San built Huangjiazhuang near the evil tomb, as if it was not to guard the evil tomb, but to facilitate the tomb."

Hearing Liang Houzai's words, Old Master Huang frowned immediately: "Why should you say that?"

Liang Houzai thought about it and responded somewhat restrainedly: "Because there is something that has never been made. Since the Huang family had a deep friendship with Shouzheng's lineage a long time ago, why did Mr. Su San want to suppress the things in the tomb after the evil tomb was excavated? Why didn't he find someone from Shouzheng's lineage to help?"

Old Master Huang looked at my master at this time, but he didn't say anything.

Later, Liang Houzai raised several doubts.
